Investigations

On July 8, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah sentenced Lisa Rowberry, an employee of Frisbu Trucking Company, Inc., to 1 year and 1 day imprisonment, 3 years supervised release, $220,500 in restitution shared with a co-defendant, forfeiture of $210,000, and a special assessment of $100 following Rowberry’s guilty plea to loan application fraud. Around April and May 2020, Rowberry and another individual made false statements on a loan application for $210,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program as a provision of the CARES Act. The applicants failed to disclose the other individual’s indictment and entry into a felony drug possession pretrial diversion agreement on the loan application.
